Gold Nanoparticles‐Titania Heterojunction: Photoelectrochemical Detection of Ciprofloxacin

Abstract

What is the most significant result of this study?Although electroanalytical techniques are well suited for in situ analysis thanks to portable, compact, and inexpensive instrumentation, the use of photocurrent measures is generally limited by the need to irradiate the sample with high-power light sources, often in the UV region of the spectrum. The published work highlights how, for the first time, it was possible to obtain good analytical performances also through the use of low-power LEDs. This discovery could pave the way for many applications, for example in the environmental field for the monitoring of polluting species.
